A Few Possible Causes of Sump Pump Failure

Sump pumps can quit working for a couple of different reasons, including:

  • No power
  • Lack of maintenance
  • The unit is the wrong size
  • Poor installation
  • Ice-covered or clogged drain lines
  • Age (the average life span is 10 years)

We’ll take a look at your pump during our visit and offer preventive maintenance advice, helping make sure your sump pump won’t break down when you need it most.

Sump pump maintenance checklist

There are a number of easy things you can do to ensure your sump pump is prepared for efficiency.

  1. Make sure the cord is in decent shape.
  2. Plug it into a GFCI outlet in the event of power surges.
  3. Confirm the pump is upright and not tilting to one side as this can trigger the pump to not activate when instructed.
  4. If the pump hasn’t been on recently, pour a bucket of water into the pit to make sure the pump is actually working and removes the water rapidly.
  5. In dry weather, take out the sump pump and clean the grate on the bottom since it can get small stones in the grate over time.
  6. Make sure the discharge pipe’s vent hole isn’t plugged up.

Because your sump pump is a kind of insurance to shield your home from water damage, trust the Experts at Enercare Rob's Albertan to confirm yours is taking care of business.
